Software Hut (advertisement in Amiga World) sells the 68030 (with MMU) 50MHz
for $189. The combination 68030 (with MMU)/50MHz + 68882/50MHz (math co.) sells
for $269.
You can get (used, surplus, pulled from never used boards etc?) 68030/25's for
$65 from the Krueger Company.

P.S.:
Yesterday I took a look at CSN prices and I found "387-40 Math Coprocessor
